 http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/a...RTICLE_ID=42058 WND LIFE WITH BIG BROTHER People-tracking closer to reality Deal forged to equip VeriChip with global positioning satellite Posted: December 23, 2004 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com Setting the stage for controversial tracking technology, the satellite telecommunications company ORBCOMM has signed an agreement with VeriChip Corp., maker of the world's first implantable radio frequency identification microchip. VeriChip, a subsidiary of Applied Digital, will work with ORBCOMM to develop and market new military, security and healthcare applications, the company said. As WorldNetDaily reported, Applied Digital has created and successfully field-tested a prototype of an implant for humans with GPS, or global positioning satellite, technology. The device, about the size of a grain of rice, contains a unique verification number that is captured by briefly passing a proprietary scanner over it. Once inserted into a human, it can be tracked by GPS technology and the information relayed wirelessly to the Internet, where an individual's location, movements and vital signs can be stored in a database for future reference. "ORBCOMM's relationship with VeriChip provides yet another new and important industry that will use the ORBCOMM satellite system and its ground infrastructure network to transmit messages globally," ORBCOMM CEO Jerry Eisenberg said. Initially, after privacy concerns and verbal protests over marketing the technology for government use, Applied backed away from public discussion about such implants and the possibility of using them to usher in a "cashless society." In addition, to quell privacy concerns, the company issued numerous denials, stating it had no plans for implants. When WND reported in April 2002 that the company planned such implant technology, Applied Digital spokesman Matthew Cossolotto accused WND of intentionally printing falsehoods. Less than three weeks later, however, the company issued a press release announcing that it was accelerating development on a GPS implant. | Finger all some retailers need for payment | | Mark of the Beast Technology | Mark Technology Update | | UN's Law of the Sea Treaty | UN's International Criminal Court | UN Planning Internet Control | New UN Terrorism Czar | The Mark of the Beast | World Court Orders Washington to Retry 51 | NWO Integration | China Calls For Stronger UN | The Eighth Beast | US Rejoins UNESCO | DAVOS 2008 | UN Biosphere Reserve | UN Panel To Recommend Expanded Council | Expanded UN Security Council | UN Agreement With World Court | Verachip Approved By FDA | National ID Card Ahead | Annan Announces Reforms for September, 2005 | G-7, Seven Heads | Digital Angel Tracks Animals Nationwide | Calling for a Global Currency | Five New Security Council Members Being Formed? | | Return Home | Tithing and Giving | Prayer and Fasting | Bible Study and Bible Study Helps | Mystery Babylon | Antichrist Revealed | The New World Order | Israel in Bible Prophecy | Home Schooling | BLOG | Email | |
